I have a ‘22, other than tires and brakes, I’ve only had regular maintenance service done. It’s a dream luxury liner to drive.
Drove a Chevy Cavalier my entire apprenticeship. Good on gas, easy to park, sure footed with Snow Tires.
Want a real out there suggestion. The 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. Kind of a rare car. But my dad had one and it was an absolute blast. 200 hp and 266 ft/lb torque that was *instantly* available made the car way faster than you would have ever guessed. Once you ditched the terrible economy tires on it, it handled incredibly well because all the weight was way down low. It was also really well balanced because, while front wheel drive, most of the weight was in the middle - so it didn't really act like a typical front wheel drive car.
Tires still alive with 5.5 on rear and 6.5 on front.
Still running on the og tires(1 summer set, 1 winter).
Im still on OEM all season tires and I figure I can hit 40k before replacement.
BMW, to achieve superior handling, uses an aggressive negative camber for the rear wheels. So the inner of the rear tires will wear out faster by design. It is not an alignment issue.
And one tire due to a bulge. The tire was not cheap ($500) but I let the dealership deal with it rather than getting it done cheaper elsewhere as I didn't want to drive on a massive bulge.
As others mentioned, run-flats are more suspectable to sidewall damage. They're also heavier and noisier. Also, you may have a wider selection of tires if you go with non-runflat.
I got the wheel and tire warranty when I bought my car. They’ve already replaced 4 run flats for free. I got 2 blowouts in the last 2 weeks hitting pretty average sized potholes that I’ve never had issues before with. Run flats suck.
